New Wii game engine promises PS3 visualsBy James Orry - 21/04/2008 - 11:48am GMT Quantum3 engine claims to be the most powerful in the industry. High Voltage Software is hoping to change the face of Wii video games, with its new Quantum3 engine, which is claimed to enable Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 visuals on the tiny Wii console. Quantum3 is the result of 15 years development experience and enables developers to make use of advanced graphical features, including better dynamic bump mapping, light effects, glossing and other visual improvements. Additionally, Quantum3 uses a 16 TEV stage material pipeline that can blend up to 8 separate texture sources. The engine also uses advanced processing techniques to make gameplay smoother, examples including seamless resource streaming, projected shadows, morphing and much more. "The Wii platform is capable of a lot more than what consumers have seen so far. We're hoping to raise a new bar," said High Voltage Software CEO Kerry Ganofsky. The first title from High Voltage to use the new Quantum3 engine is first-person shooter The Conduit. The developer is aiming to create a game that looks like an Xbox 360 and PS3 game. You can decide for yourself if the new engine is up to the task by checking the tech demo here.

I thought it looked really good, but graphics aren't why i am not into the wii. It is the games that are out for it or lack of games, same with PS3. I want a PS3 but just for Blu Ray right now. And back to the Wii how much info can those discs hold with all that extra power wouldn't it take up space?
